EXHIBIT 2 <br />EXHIBIT A <br />Fort he future, ImmDef will continue to work with supporters and advocates like Councilman Sarmiento <br />and Resilience OC to ensure funding for universal representation in Santa Ana. While passage for <br />continued funding was approved 4-1, ImmDef is aware of the potential challenges to renewed funding <br />and plans to meet with key council members to demonstrate the need and success of universal removal <br />defense programs. Some advocacy plans include, facilitating visits from former clients and family <br />members who have benefited from the program with council members and raising the visibility of <br />success stories of long-time Santa Ana residents who have obtained relief through various social media <br />and other outreach events. We also continue to participate in community forums to help educate the <br />public about our removal defense project to ensure that Santa Ana residents are aware of these <br />available services. <br />8) Vera has created a secure online database and will be collecting data on the legal services <br />performed by the LSPs for the purposes of program management and reporting. Please indicate your <br />willingness and plan to cooperate with Vera's data collection efforts. Please indicate which staff will be <br />inputting data on to the database and how often this will be done. Also indicate which staff will be <br />finalizing the submission of the data to Vera. Specifically address your organization's capabilities to <br />continue to report on all cases represented by your organization under this grant through the ultimate <br />dispositions of those cases, some of which will inevitably continue long after the end date of the <br />subcontract. <br />ImmDef has a long track record of successfully collecting and reporting on data through programs <br />administered by the Vera Institute of Justice. Depending on the data that is to be gathered, data is <br />initially submitted either by Staff Attorney or Paralegal. All data will be reviewed by the Managing <br />Attorney and ultimately approved by our Legal Services Director prior to submission. ImmDef has <br />successfully launched and sustained multiple high -volume and impactful deportation defense programs <br />that maintain representation through ultimate disposition of cases. Our organization is at present <br />successfully executing grants and contracts from 29 different sources that include federal, state and <br />local government entities, private foundations, and individual donors. Our program staff and <br />administrative staff work together to ensure that communication is strong, and all reports and data are <br />submitted in a timely fashion. In 2018, in response to our growing portfolio of funders, ImmDef hired <br />additional administrative staff to ensure that all reporting was submitted. In 2019 ImmDef hired two <br />Development and Communication staff who are responsible for managing the reporting calendars <br />submitted on time and ensuring communications with program staff is clear regarding all contract <br />deliverables. <br />9) Provide a Budget Narrative to accompany your Budget Worksheet (templates attached). Narratives <br />should describe each line item in the budget. In other words, you should list every staff person included in <br />the Personnel section of the Budget Worksheet and briefly describe their duties. For the Other than <br />Personnel Expenses (OTPE) line items, please briefly describe each item and what is included in your <br />calculation so that it is clear what is being covered by subcontract funds. Budget's should be prepared <br />based on a one-time payment for the cases listed in Question 5. <br />SALARIES (by staff member, including title and FTE): <br />H <br />251-28 <br />
